Arms Shipment to Georgia UPDATE

10 Jan 2010

I received a note from a good friend with connections to the government of the Republic of Georgia late Friday totally denying the rumors about a ganked arms shipment and help for Israel's strike plans on Iran.

From Batu Kutelia, Georgian Ambassador to the USA, Canada and Mexico:

"The story is categorically false. There was no US arms shipment that was halted in transit for any reason. Furthermore, Georgia is not cooperating with Israel on potential military action against any country. Our military cooperation with our partners is designed to increase our self defense capabilities, our interoperability with NATO, and our ability to contribute to international stability operations."
